Picking Up the Pieces of Us has started a new chapter with an old familiar theme. Rusty Baker has covered a diverse range of topics. From white-knuckled combat photography in Afghanistan, to documenting family wrestling dynasties, to impromptu adventure vlogging with his proud family-with-autism. Now, 30 years after starting film school at UNT, Rusty has returned to pursue a Master’s in Documentary Filmmaking. This channel will now serve as a platform to showcase his current work.
